Toy pistol.



UNITED STATESN PATENT oEEI olii` ROBERT D. SIMPSON, '0F COLMBUS, OHIO.

'roY PISTOL,

Toall whom it may concern:

. Be it known that I, Ronrn'r D.; SIMPSON, a citizen of the United States. residing at Columbus. in the county of Franklin and `State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tov Pistols, of which the following is a speci cation.

My invention relates to toy pistols'and means for explodingpercussion caps thereon iu which the caps to be employediarearranged at regular intervals on a strip of paper which is rolled and secured within thehnndle of the pistol.

The object of my invention is to provide is an interior view of the right hand handle member, Fig. 3 is an interior viewiof lthe v corresponding left hand member, Fig. 4 is a detail view of the revolving trigger. and

, Fig. 5 1s a perspective view ig; 6 is a sectional view of the device throng the line a-ri of giniilar numerals refei. to similar parts throughout the several views.

. In cari-yin out my invention, I employ two hollow s ells 1 and 2 formed to simulate a revolver, a firing vpin 3, an actuating member j4, bearing projections l" adapte to contact with the shoulder 15 on the firing pin 3 and cause the latter to discharge the cap .at the anvil 2O and a roll of paper or like materia-l 7 having percussion ca s 8 mounted thereon. Lugs Q, 10 and 11 in the right hand member are adapted to enuge mrrcsponding dcpi'cssions '12, 13 and .I4 in the loft hand member, a shoulder 15 on the -firingpin affording a seat for the spring 6 and lugs 16 and 17 support the said s ring atthe opposite end thfreof. The siell walls are broken away at 18 to leave an ov enin in the assembled shell'through whic i ii ro l of caps may be inserted.

My. invention is operated as follows: A

1. In a device of the class -described, the combination of'a siiit'able'casiiig, an anviltherefor, a reciprocating firin pinpand i190. rotating member having a series 'of projec` tions extending radially therefrom, said pr jections being adapted to act as triggers, and upon the movement of tlie"rotating member to actuate the firing pin and feed a tape ast the anvil.

2. n a device Aofthe class described, the combination of a suitable casing, en 'anvil therefor, a reciprocating frin pin, tension means normally holding sai l pin against said anvil, and arotating memberprovided v i with a series of projections adapted-'to gage a portion of the'ring in to move the anvil against the action of the tension mean s`,a nd 105 to feed a tape or strip of caps between' the anvil `and the pin.

3. In a device or' the class described, the combination of a casing, an anvil therefor, a reciprocatin firing pin mounted within 11 the casing an co rating with the anvil, a spring member within the casing, a rotatg '973,ese

ing member mounted adjacent thereto and rotating wheel member, and projections on provided with a series of projections adaptthe wheel member adapted to et simult'ane- 1 ed severally to not as triggers and to ously as trig rs, as` means to feed a tape feed a tape in contact with said flat s ring over the anvi and means forreciprocutin 5 over the anvil, and to reciprocate the ring t e firing pin, said tape being located in a pin. recess in the casing.
